Identify Your Pain Points

“What’s your biggest blocker to growth?”

“What’s stopping you from succeeding?”

“What’s the biggest challenge you have to overcome in your current pursuit?”

For me, my biggest pain point has always been finding the right people to be on my team. My friends are not my fans, even if they are my biggest supporters. I can’t expect them to have the same passion and drive that I do when it comes to my own music.

There’s a certain invisible pressure I feel when I ask people for help in my closest inner circle. Even if they are more than willing to help, I can’t shake the burden of the obligation I’m placing on them. This fear stops me in my tracks and significantly impairs my ability to move forward.

So, I decided to hire people. None of these people is a stranger to me, but we all have a lot of getting-to-know-each-other to do. I’m really excited for this next step, and happy that I’m finally understanding the meaning of “I can’t do it all alone.”
